The video tutorial explains how to determine if a sequence converges or diverges by finding its limit. It covers arithmetic and geometric sequences, using examples to illustrate convergence to a specific number or divergence to infinity. Graphical representations and the squeeze theorem are used to further understand sequence behavior. The tutorial also includes advanced examples involving factorials and natural logarithms.
